    "Learn to interpret meaning." Okay, let me try again:

    Hmm... present tense...nope, that still sounds like you're a fanboy who will make contradictory statements for the sake of defending his system.



    Right... I "unjustly" love my PS3. Even though I wrote out a huge list of advantages that I realize the 360 has, while you insist that the PS3 is "worthless."

    Both I and Brando have given you numerous advantages that the PS3 has, and you choose to ignore them. I readily admit the 360's advantages. I always have.

    Who sounds like they're being more objective? Hmmmm...

    Yeah, it has nothing to do with us. We can't control what the Rockets do. And we can't control others' purchases, either. It's all talk about things we can't control (though, arguably, the 2nd is actually more likely than the first). Big deal. You're talking about "wasting board space?" Come on, man. If you don't wanna read it, don't read it.

    You must love to argue. Wallow in the fact that I ALSO called my love for the XBOX UNJUST. You are either dense or stupid...or both. I honestly cant find ONE advantage the PS3 has over the xbox BESIDES blu-ray which is soon to not be an advantage.

    Want to continue running around in circles be my guest. But you will do it alone. 360 is the perfect choice for ME. The PS3 might be the perfect choice for you. I dont know you and frankly you dont seem like the nicest guy on the planet so I hope to never know you but if you are happy with your PS3 then great. I am being OBJECTIVE yes because I HATE MY PS3. You are being just as objective because YOU LOVE YOURS. So no ones going to win this "debate" except for Microsoft and Sony, since we both will be pouring our money down their Japanese and White throats over the next few years.

    Blu-Ray is already used for games.

    And as I and Brando already pointed out, having only 9GB of storage space instead of 50GB could eventually be a problem. Is this really such a hard concept?

    Oh, I forgot. The blinding 360-colored glasses. Silly me.

    OH! Also take off your just as blinding PS3-colored glasses and read this part I so nicely bolded for you. "What exactly was there to reply with? Ive said all that before. The BLU-Ray will NEVER be used for games, granted the extra space would be nice but im not so lazy to change disks. It doesnt bother me or anyone else unless you are christopher reeve and his GOPHER lost power. Blu Rays should be used for MOVIES, since the DVD drive works fine for GAMES."

    Clarification (I am amazed someone is so stupid I have to clarify something on the internet): When i said " The BLU-Ray will NEVER be used for games" I was SPEAKING ABOUT THE XBOX BLU RAY ADD ON. Learn to read for understanding.

    Hmmm... I'm dense and stupid, yet you're the one who keeps asking for advantages the PS3 has, and then ignoring every one that's given. Right.

    And, for the billionth time, I KNOW THE 360 IS THE "PERFECT CHOICE" FOR YOU. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THAT. THE 360 HAS MANY ADVANTAGES. I KNOW. IT'S FINE THAT YOU LOVE THE THING.

    What I have a problem with is your ignorant statement that the PS3 "has no advantages" over the 360. That is just pure stupidity/ignorance/fanboyism.

    How about instead, you learn to write clearly, so I don't have to dream up all the possibilities of what you MIGHT have meant?


    Ohhhh... so now, you're saying that the PS3 DOES have an advantage? Extra space! Wow! LOOKS LIKE YOU WERE WRONG WHEN YOU SAID THAT THE PS3 DOESN'T HAVE ANY ADVANTAGES! WHICH WAS MY ENTIRE POINT!

    seeing how you have YET to name ONE advantage it has I am inclined to believe you dont think there are any.

    I laid all my cards out, now its your turn. Im calling your bluff here. And if you DID lay out all the advantages it has then PLEASE link me the post number since I must have missed it.

    It's not easy to find the tech information but from what I remember Resistance: Fall of Man was 14gigsish and I'm pretty sure Uncharted was more than 9.


    So now you are saying that even though the discs are 50 gigs, the extra space should be used for movies. That would be the same as saying the XBOX and Playstation 2 should only use up to 700 mb on their DVD drives and leave the rest of space for DVD movies. You see what I'm saying? The playstation used a CD Drive, the PS2 upgraded to a DVD drive and designed games to take advantage of that space.

    As i have already said, not all games are linear and thus could not ship on multiple discs.

    Would you mind if I asked your age?

    I can quote you too.

    Now in that QUOTE I dont actually see you LIST the advantages of the PS3. So until you tell me why you think the PS3 has ANY advantages I shall continue to laugh in your ignorant face. You do SAY the PS3 has "obvious" advantages yet you cant name any that aren't opinions like the one "2008 the PS3 HAS BETTER EXCLUSIVES"

    Are you and DexlerFan22 the same guy or is the public school system that poor in Texas? NO WHERE did I say that the extra space would be for MOVIES. I said the BLU RAY DRIVE for the GOD DAMN XBOX ADD ON would ONLY be used for MOVIES and NOT games. THE PS3 IS USING BLU RAY TO HOLD ITS GAMES the XBOX's PLAYER wouldnt. MY GOD YOUR COMPREHENSION SKILLS ARE SO LOW. I feel bad for you.

    I am 21 by the way. Age makes no difference since you apparently cannot read and comprehend what I meant.

    That's because I didn't quote my ENTIRE post, because you ONLY ASKED FOR THE 360 ADVANTAGES.

    ...from the EXACT SAME POST:

    And, from post #120:

    You know, it's funny... TWO people are having problems understanding what you mean. That couldn't possibly be because YOU DON'T WRITE CLEARLY, it just HAS to be because we can't read. Yes! That must be it!

    I didnt ask for the 360 advantages I asked for the PS3 ones.

    All reasonable EXCEPT for this one: The BC. You were an adopter who got the 60 gig i presume. PS3 sold mostly 80 and 40 gig models to date which included the 80% BC mark. Its only superior in terms of titles because theres so many but quality wise they both emulate their BC titles in the same manner.

    While you do bring up the failure rate issue I wonder this: Do you even know WHY they have failed?

    I would list the Blu-Ray drive as its only SIZABLE advantage and I mean that in terms of game disk size and lossless audio quality. I am a very wealthy man but I dont have an 7.1 home theater system so either way it is a WASH for the audio quality. I must say the idea of not changing disks is a NICE idea.

    And on your point of the Cacheing for games on the HD of the PS3: This is mainly due to a slower drive and read speed of the BRDrive, the Xbox has a read-stream process pre loading areas and textures before they pop on the screen. The Drive process in the PS3 CANNOT do this efficiently without straining the dedicated memory being hogged by the Cell so it has to pre-load its commands and some of its files before being able to be played smoothly. Case in point is Devil May Cry 4.

    I am attributing the reading skills being low due to many different arguments going on at the same time. I have had to have two windows open to write my replies about your comments without meshing them with earlier ones or my own.

    wow you are a huge dick. Keep doing what you are doing but you look like a total spaz to everyone that is reading this board.


    In terms of my comprehension ability: Let's take a look at your post.
    "Blu-Ray" is a type of technology. Your statement is then that games will not be used in conjunction with this format. If you were talking about the Blu-Ray add on then you sould have said, "Blu-ray add-on"

    I'll say it a third time and maybe you will be gracious enough to answer me. Some games are not linear and thus cannot use multiple discs. I'm very sorry to everyone to keep this on but I can't just let it go. This thread is completely de-railed.
